Judge to Hear Evidence on DA's Alleged Misconduct in Trump Georgia Case

A hearing regarding Fulton county district attorney Fani Willis’s relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade will proceed, despite key documents not being turned over by county administrators. The hearing revealed that employment records for Wade and others have not been provided, with attorney Ashleigh Merchant seeking to refute Willis's assertion that Wade was paid similarly to other special prosecutors. The judge dismissed questions about Wade's qualifications but acknowledged the need for an evidentiary hearing on the potential conflict arising from his personal relationship with Willis. The defense seeks to disqualify Wade and Willis as prosecutors on the Trump case, alleging an improper relationship, while Willis's office dismisses the accusations as speculative and baseless.
